Stewart Baptist Church Homecoming
Marks Beginning of Revival Services
| A record attendance of some
1200 members, former members
| and friends of Stewart Baptist
'Church marked the beginning of
{the Church’'s annuai revival,
iwhich was launched with a
| Homecoming, fraught with the
| spirit of wotship, fellowship and
| nostalgia, last Sunday.
| The dynamic young pastor,
| Rev. O. D. Mullinax, who assum
|ed this charge only five weeks
| ago, revealed a depth of under
| standing of the adherence of the
| gospel truths, in his message,
i“The Second Coming of Jesus”
' rarely found in one without many
! more years in the ministry. Em
| phasis was placed upon the com
ing of Christ as the time of the
| Christian’s Homecoming, when
| the Saviour comes to claim His
| own.
| Rev. Mullinax welcomed visit
| ors, and recognized those whose
Imémbershipfi extended beyond
| five years; with especial tribute
ibeing paid Mrs. J. H. Johnson,
| eldest* and charter member of
| Stewart. He gave also, a brief
| resume of the church’s recent
| renovations, including painting;
| and announced plans for an edu
| cational building which will be
| the next project undertaken. Out
|of town guests included Fred
iGunter, Truitt-McConnell stu
| dent, who render a special vocal
| selection, “What Will You Do
| With Jesus?”
; The public was cordially in
| vited to attend the revival serv
:@ices throughout the week begin
| ning at 7:30 each evening, which
| will feature: Sunday School Night
on Monday; B.T.U. on Tuesday
| evening; W.M.U. on Wednesday
‘evening; “Fill a Pew Night” on
| Thursday; “Family Night,” Fri

|on Saturday evening.

send them everyday possible‘

is of the utmost importance to'
yaur child that he or she attend

Soon, however, the nearby Uni

grant of an acre or two of land
adjoining them, upon which they |
began the erection of the firstl
Stewart Baptist Church. During |
its construction, a windstorm
wrought such havoc that final
completion was again delayed.
Nevertheless, with voluntary la
bor of the faithful members, their

occupancy in 1907, and for manyf
yvears was their spiritual haven.
The late Rev. Walker Combs’
served as pastor of Stewart for |
some 25 years, !
In 1945, a tornado, which de- |
vasted much valuable propertyl
in Newton County, completely |
demolished the church; and its|
program was threatened with'
abandonment, with many mem

churches. During this dark per
‘iod, a Rev. Aaron L. Spinks,

'the church, and began gathering

PORTERDALE — Monday
morning, August 13, eighty-two
boys and girls were registered at
Camp Daniel Morgan at Rutledge,
Georgia. After we were register
ed, we were assigned to our
cabins. When we were settled
comfortably for a week-long stay,
we began to follow the schedule
planned for us by our counselors.
The group was divided into
classes. Every morning, there
were stewardship classes which
were very interesting. Then we
enjoyed our handcraft groups.
We made beautiful and useful
things under the direction of
Miss Annie C. Hays of Mansfield,
Georgia.
Mr. Francis Stewart of Monti
cello, Georgia had our chapel ser
vice everyday. Mr. Stewart
brought some inspiring messages.
